Wonder if that oooktail story has any influence in the Kentucky republicans seleoting Fairbanks delegates to the national convention ?

The cases against Harry Marshall and all of the others except those against Henry Brunaugh, growing out of the repairing of the asphalt streets in Indianapolis have been dismissed, In boodle cases ordinarily it takes two persons to commit the crime, one to give the money and the other to accept it. But there are several different kinds of justice at the state capital.—Fowler Leader.

© The democratic editors, at their mid-winter meeting at Indianapolis last week, held a conference with the member of the state committee and urged that an earlier date than originally intended be set for the state convention making it before the republican convention. Therefore Maroh 25 and 26 was decided upon, and the democrats will set the pace for the republicans. The editors also declared for a local option law to deal with the liquor question, and the unanimuty of opinion of the editors, the state committee and the candidates for state office that the democratic platform should be squarecut and meet every question squarely and in language that can not be misunderstood, is evidence that the party is on the right tack and is not in league with the brewery or saloon interests, as the republican press has been vainly trying to make the public believe. The speech of Editor H. A. Barnhart of the Rochester Sentinel at the editorial banquet, together with th 6 resolutions adopted by the editorial association, will be found elsewhere in today’s Democrat.

MARSHALL’S ‘VINDICATION.”

The Indianapolis News, the "independent” paper pablished at the State Capital, which [is never happier than when misrepresenting democrats and fighting for the election of republicans, has the following editorial in regard to the "vindication” of Henry W. Marshall of Lafayette, late republican chairman of their congressional district and whom the rerepublican papers, including the Rensselaer Republican, have just been telling their readers has been fully exonerated, vindicated and absolved from any connection with the street paving frauds in Indianapolis: We hope the people of this oity have noted that the only man now

nnder indictment in connection with street repairing frande ie Harry Brunangb, a mere underling. Henry W. Marshall president of the Western Construction Company, wbioh was the employer of Brunangb, and all the others, Baxter, Roeasoo, and Shnfelton, at the present time stand uncharged with any offense. All the indictments previously returned were nolled, not because the evidence had been found unsatisfactory, but bt oause the indictments were found to be defective as measured by a decision of the Supreme Court handed down after they had been drawn. But though the indictment of Marshall, for instanoe, was based on evidence satisfactory to the men returning it, though it has been nolled merely for default in form, the present grand jury has, it is said, refused to indiot this man. And so it is that the only one indicted is the employe and tool, whomi alone the present grand jury has so far been willing to reindiot. It should not be forgotten that throughout the country the demand is that the men in positions of power and authority should be held to answer for corporate wrong-doing, and not mere cashiers, clerks, bookkeepers, eto. And the demand is a most righteous one. We do not wish to be misunderstood in this matter. For we do not say that any of these men are guilty. That is a fact that ought to be considered by a trial jury. But we do say that praotically the same evidence was presented in the oases of Marshall and the others as was presented in the case of Brunaugh, And we protest that it is grossly unfair to hold the insignificant Brunangb the president of the company that employed him, and the city officers involved in the scandal, to go free. They should at least be all treated alike.

Prominenoe, wealth and power, are not matters to be considered, except indeed as hightening whatever of guilt there may be. Whatever consideration is shown ought to be shown to the men who are poor, weak, insignificant, unimportant and without friends— the men whom are subordinate positions, and who act simply as agents. Our present grand jury is believed to have reversed this rule. The evidenoe is as strong against the others as it is against Brunaugh. The grand jury should treat all alike, not put the whole burden of whatever crime was committed on Brunangh alone.

THAT CONVENTION.

Judging from the remarks made by most of the republican papers of the district the editors do not feel very proud of the work of the convention which met here recently and selected delegates to the national convention. Here are a few extracts: Fowler Republican: Personally we do not feel particularly complimented that Kit Sills with his case of female complaint and other frailties is to represent us in a national convention. But in this case Mr. Crumpacker’s friends found that it was only a question of using the material at hand in the dirty job before them and with many a wry face they proceeded with Spartan fortitude to the performance of the work cut out for them. Fowler Leader: It seems that the first ohoice of Will Wood, who was a candidate for the honor of being a delegate, was Fairbanks. That his second choice was Fairbanks; and his third choice was Fairbanks. He had voted for him three times in the Senate house and was really for him for president. This did not suit the men from beyond the Kankakee. They wanted some one to pledge to vote for Taft for second choioe. And this crowd selected Kitt Sills, the gentleman whom the Judge seleoted to succeed the Hon. Tom McCoy, of Michigan City, and who was reoently defeated by his own party in his own county and in his own district. The remarks made by Mr. Wood to the convention was the most scathing denunciation ever made by a defeated man. And there was no consolation in the reflection that any of it was not deserved. Brook Reporter: The election of Kit Sills for national delegates by the Crumpaoker postmasters at the Rensselaer convention, and the defeat of such a man as Senator Wood, is a very bright move, and as sure as the sun shines, is the beginning of the end of the reign of Congressman Crnmpacker. It would be* supposed that common sense would have tangbt the partisans of Crumpaoker that this was not the time to start a fight, which the results of the convention is bound to do.

The hog ism of these same partisans has grown in voraciousness in looal and national politics so that they are only satisfied when they can control everything from a road supervisor to president. The notorious Crumpacker maohine is an example of this in the Tenth district. The common people do not take kindly to this olaes of rotten politics even if it ie nnder a guise covered with a thin smearing of butter. From now on the Crumpacker political machine will have rough eledding, and they will find mountains where formerly there was only bumps.

THE ARKANSAS LAND ASSET.

Benton Review: Grant Hall returned from AakaDsas Saturday night after spending some time looking over the Baldwin & Dague property, and says he thinks that in time they sbonld be able to realize at least SIOO,OOO from that property. There is plenty of good timber on the tract and timber men have estimated the value of that asset alone to amount to that muoh, while the land is good, rich soil, capable of producing immense crops. The land is low, a good portion covered with water from two to 10 inches deep, but if it was in Benton county it would soon be drained and worth $l5O per, aore. One of the greatest drawbacks to the property is the high price of labor, negroes getting from $1.75 to $4.00 per day, and not accomplishing more than half what a northern man would. Nick Dague is there running the general store and making himself generally useful. The handle company that has the contract to remove about SIO,OOO worth of timber per year have not been doing anything for a few months, but promises to begin operations. The receivers have entered into negotiations with a Memphis syndicate to sell the tract, bat have faint hopes of accomplishing that desired end nnder the present condition of the money market, because it will be with the buyer just as it was with Baldwin & Dague—speculation pure and simple.

CATARRH YIELDS

To Healing Air of Hyomel. Sold (Jndor Guarantee by B. F. Fendlg. Catarrh is the most prevalent disease known to humanity. Prob* ably 90 per oent of the people in this country suffer at one time or another with this common disease. It is a germ disease and hence can be cured only by some method that will reach and destroy the germs. This is best found in Hyomei, which may be called the direct method of treating catarrh, as its medication, taken in with the air you breathe, goes directly to every air cell in the nose, throat and lungs; kills all oatarrhal germs; heals the irritated mucous membrane and vitalizes the tissues so as to render catarrh no longer possible. B. F. Fendig gives his absolute guarantee to refund the price to any catarrh sufferer that Hyomei fails to benefit.
